alot of smoke out of 95 volvo 850 turbo
 
car has never overheated tons of smoke coming out exhaust. i rebuilt turbo about a week ago it will crank up but smoke pours and idles a lil rough

how many miles since you reinstalled the turbo? it may take a few minutes to burn off any oil from the rebuild. Otherwise, I'd be thinking your rebuild may not have the oil seal properly seated.

turbo is perfect i did the revuild perfectly iv done about 100 turbos but i learned last nite that its white smoke i let it run for about 45 min it never overheated but i put my hand against exhaust and pull my hand away and it wet with moisture so and water if filling up reservoir like combustion is getting inside water is it my head or head gasket no water leaking on ground

Is it using coolant? If not, ignore the steam (not smoke) and just drive the car.

The main byproduct of combustion is carbon dioxide and steam.

when i crank it up its blowing back into coolant reserviour the water in reservior has qlot of black particles in it.i read tgat tge head gaskets on tgem can leak water into combustion chamber it has so much smoke coming from it i held a sheet of paper against exhaust and it was soaking wet no with moisture it runs rough like water is mixing with fuel it set up about a yr has smoked since 5 yrs ago replaced pcv system a few yrs ago and so much smoke its not drivable .what u think could water get in gas tank usually?

I have no idea what you're trying to say between all the missing punctuation sand misspelled words.

Smoking like this?


This was the turbo, lost the thrust bearing.

You should pick up a block tester kit. They are cheap and it will answer your question (although I think we all know what it is).

You can buy an HC test kit to see if you are getting exhaust gasses into the coolant for about $40. If it tests positive, it can either be the head/head gasket or the turbocharger. You could but a different turbocharger in the car to see if that fixes it before pulling off the head.
